>>I didn't read the whole thing yet but it is very funny. Since most languages don't have macro expansion (&) like VFP I bet there is nothing in there about that. A guy could really reak havoc using "&" alot. For example never actually type out important variables. Allways build them in a string and then use & to get to them. Like
>>
>>lcVar1 = 'lcImp'
>>lcVar2 = 'ortantVar'
>>
>>lcVar3=lcVar1+lcVar2
>>
>>&lcVar3 = 'some value'

And then you'd have.... SBT's code! *g*
